Description

UTENSIL FOR NAIL ART
Technical Field
The present invention relates to nail art tools and painting methods of nails using the same, and more specifically, to a nail art tool for use in printing a variety of decorative patterns or letters on faces or fingernails of users to express their personalities and characters, and a method of providing nail art using the same.
Background Art
In recent years, the younger generation has increasingly expressed the personality by means of a variety of accessories, which is evolved to be a kind of youthcult.
Particularly, as for the young women, various decorative patterns or letters are printed on their fingernails to reflect their personalities, instead of simply manicuring. However, since users have difficulties in painting desired pictures on their nails without assistance, they are subjected to nail art painting at a high expense for the service of the nail art painting. In addition, nail seals printed with various decorative patterns or letters may be separately used.
Thus, there are proposed devices for use in selecting a desired pattern among various patterns stored in a memory unit thereof and printing the selected pattern on fingernails of the users. However, such devices are costly, and have difficulties in use because they are mounted to a predetermined position and then cannot be moved freely.
Further, the users frequently wash their hands including the nails that are printed with the patterns or letters, whereby the printed patterns or letters may be easily removed while being not maintained even for a few days. Hence, the nail art effects in comparison with the high price become insignificant.
On the other hand, in various play lands or sports stadium, face painting is in fashion with children or teenagers. As such, persons skilled for such painting manually paint the pictures on faces of those who want to be face painted, thus requiring long periods. Consequently, many people who want to be face painted cannot but wait for the long periods or cannot be face painted. Further, since the persons to be painted are in the stationary state, it is difficult to provide a face painting as a pleasant experience.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a nail art tool, for use in easily and quickly printing various decorative patterns or letters on a variety of accessories including mobile phones, handkerchiefs or scarves, as well as face painting, to express the personality of the user. Still another object of the present invention is to provide a method of providing nail art using the nail art tool.
To achieve the above objects, there is provided a nail art tool, for use in printing a predetermined pattern or letter on a fingernail or face of a user, comprising: a plurality of manicures or nail art paints having various colors; an image plate having a plurality of image recesses engraved with various patterns or letters; a blade unit to evenly trim the manicure or nail art paint in the image recess of the image plate; and a stamp to carry the manicure or nail art paint in the image recess of the image plate and then stamp the manicure or nail art paint on the fingernail or face of the user. In addition, there is provided a method of providing nail art, for use in printing a predetermined pattern or letter on a fingernail or face of a user, comprising: a first step of selecting a predetermined image recess among a plurality of image recesses on an image plate, followed by selecting a predetermined manicure or nail art paint having a predetermined color among a plurality of manicures or nail art paints having various colors and then applying the predetermined manicure or nail art paint having the selected color in the selected image recess of the image plate by use of a brush; a second step of evenly trimming an upper surface of the manicure or nail art paint in the selected image recess of the image plate by use of a blade unit; a third step of transferring the manicure or nail art paint in the selected image recess of the image plate to a stamp; and a fourth step of stamping the manicure or nail art paint having the selected image on the fingernail of the user.
